Jonathan Joseph

A Fishers man faces a felony charge of intimidation and lesser counts of pointing a firearm at a person, public intoxication and disorderly conduct after his Sunday morning arrest.  Jonathan Joseph, 21, from Fishers, is accused of pointing a gun at a motorist on Cumberland Road, just north of 131st Street, at Watercrest Drive.

Here is how Fishers Police describe what happened:

“Police officers from Fishers and Noblesville responded to the area of Watercrest Drive and Cumberland Road after a motorist called 911 to report a man pointed a gun at him. The victim told officers he was driving northbound on Cumberland Road when he observed a shirtless man walking eastbound cross the road in front of him. The man briefly stopped in the roadway, pointed a handgun at the victim, and continued walking into the Watercrest Neighborhood.”

Police used a drone to locate the suspect and took him into custody.  Officers say Joseph was  in possession of an unloaded handgun at the time of his arrest.

The Fishers Police Department thanked Noblesville officers for assisting in making the arrest.
